4M-4=M
3M-4=0<-- Subtract M from both sides.
3M=4<--- Add 4 to both sides.
highlight%28M=4%2F3%29<--- Divide both sides by 3.

.
P-1=5P%2B3P-8
P-1=8P-8<-- Simplify the right hand side.
-7P-1=-8<-- Subtract 8P from boths sides.
-7P=-7<-- Add 1 to both sides.
highlight%28P=1%29<-- Divide both side by -7.
